> 4. We do not purge the local repo before a build (shouldn't have to). This is the only thing I disagree with. There are scenarios where you do have to do it and it isn't obvious.

You could build one module of a large multi-module project and if that project has a dependency on another module, it would need to download it. This can be a very valuable way to save dev build time. I agree though that for a CI build, you want to build everything and nothing should be downloaded. I didn't think anything was ;-). Perhaps the meta data of your snapshops in your central repo is corrupted and maven thinks that these snapshots are always newer than the ones built in your local. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
